Looking for an intelligent, meaningful way to contribute to a cleaner, healthier, more sustainable future? Donate to Alberta Ecotrust. Here’s why: We will direct 100% of all donations from individuals to funding non-profit groups around the province. Your dollars will go a long way when added to those of other donors to support local, volunteer driven non-profit groups who clean up streams, set up recycling centres, raise awareness and protect habitat for threatened species. The social value and impact of your investment is even greater as it will advance policy, education, practices and processes that help the smallest of stewardship groups achieve big mandates. Your contribution will also support mentorship and training of nonprofit groups through one-on-one coaching, webinars, workshops and events.
